better late than never

I can't not post about Halloween. I know I know, super late. Whatever.
I just love Halloween! It's just so fun. Dressing up as whatever you want and getting candy. It can't get better than that.
I may have had to buy candy twice.
I love decorating for it to. Anything goes. It doesn't have to be all cute or perfect or matching like Christmas. It's all about the dollar store decorations. It's spiders and bats and totally for little boys - mine were in love with it all! I didn't get a picture of my decorations dang it, next year.

We went to a pumpkin patch out by Barnwell, Rhonda and Regan came too. A bit over priced for pumpkins, but lots of fun! The kids were in heaven picking their pumpkins and going on the hayride.

And what's Halloween without a few costume changes right.
The boys picked their costumes - Ben 10. Our world revolves around Ben 10 right now. But I have to admit as far as kids shows go it's not the worst. It's no Phineas and Ferb, but it's okay. The kids aren't allowed to watch a new episode unless dad is there to watch it with them!
Roman is Four Arms and Finn is Rath the Tiger. I may have pushed a little for Rath, less sewing for me. Some friends in our ward had a family party and the kids were over the moon excited when we told them we could all be Ben 10 characters, even mom and dad. Brad brought out the wig for Ben, Oscar is Cannonbolt, and I was lucky enough to be the evil Charm Caster. What's that, none of have a clue what I'm talking about? Didn't think so.

For the annual Halloween party we came off the reservation. What's the politically correct term these days? Native Americans, First Nations People? Anyway, what Indian costume is complete without a loincloth. When Brad commits to a costume he really commits! Don't worry, he did put on pants eventually. We borrowed his costume and I made mine and Oscars - from two pillow shams I found at the thrift store! So easy and so comfortable. I may have to break this costume out again.
Some decent weather for trick or treating, both boys had tons of fun. Shy little Finn marched right up to the door and took his candy from all the strangers no problem! Me and grandma dressed up for tick or treating took, and Oscar fell asleep bundled in the ergo carrier, and Brad stayed home to hand out candy.
Can't wait until next year!
